Wadhams of Gei eral Sessions, New York, in a decisic made public yesterday, declared thi the man was equally guilty with tl woman in such a case and that tl time had comcwhen It would no lonj er be permitted to let the man g and arest the woman. Judge Wadham's decision was i the case of Beatrice Edwards, wh lives in Manhatten Avenue.She wj found guilty last April before Magi trate McGeehan and placed on pr< bation. The woman denied the stori< told by the police and said that st was the victim of a conspiracy. Ju tice Wadhams dismissed the con plaint and ordered the defendent di: charged. . "I am sure that it has been th custom to arrest a woman- and U the man go," said Judge Wadham: but the time has come when the cu: torn cannot longer be nermitted t continue. Men and women in sue cases are equany guilty ana xne ma should be arrested and held fc trial with the woman. The law clear and the duty of the police is t act in pursuance of the law. "The practical application of th law as heretofore enforced is an ui just discrimination against women i the matter of an offense which in i1 very nature requires the participi tion of men. Is the public purpose n< to enforce the law? If so, it is hypocrisy to permit the law to r< main upon the statute books. As long as the law exists it mui be impartially administered withoi * sex discrimination." Judge Wadhams throughout his di cision insists as he has done in oth< decisions recently that policemen ar Magistrates must be guided by tl amendment to the vagrancy law pas ed by the Legislature last May whi( provides that the man involved wil the woman in a violation of the la is equally guilty with the woman.
